Even Better Than the Real Thing (Live from Paris)

(04:25)

Song Lyrics

Put your hand in the Paris skyline
For the heartbeat of innocence and experience

Oh…please don’t fall
Take us higher
You can take us higher…higher…higher

Give me one more chance, you’ll be satisfied
Give me two more chances, you won’t be denied
Well, my heart is where it’s always been
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance, let me be your lover tonight

You’re the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You’re the real thing
Even better than the real thing, child

Give me one more chance and I’m gonna make you sing
Give me half a chance to ride on the waves that you bring
Well you’re honey, child, to a swarm of bees
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze
Give me one last dance, to slide down the surface of things

You’re the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You’re the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing, child

Break on through to the other side, Larry
Break on through to the other side…The Edge
Break on through to the other side, Adam
Be careful
You can take us there
You can take us higher
Can you take us higher?
Can you get us there?
Higher…higher

You take us higher
You take us higher
You take us higher
You take us higher

Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing… child
